$\Large \bold \red{Solution}\Rightarrow$

$\bold {Given:}$

Price of the car last year = 4,50,000

Price of the car this year = 5,00,000

Percentage of increased price = ?

$\bold {To\:Find:}$

Increase in price = 500000 - 450000

Increase in price = 50000

$\large \Rightarrow$Percentage of price increase = $\Large \frac{increase \:in\: price}{Price\:of\:car\:last\:year}×100$

$\large \Rightarrow$$\Large\frac{50000}{450000}100$

$\large \Rightarrow$$\large\sf \dfrac{\cancel{50000}}{\cancel{450000}}×100$

$\large \Rightarrow$$\Large \frac{1}{9} 100$

$\large \Rightarrow$$1 \Large \frac{100}{9}$

$\large \Rightarrow$11.1%

$\Large \bold \purple{Ans}\Rightarrow$

The percentage of increase in price is 11.1%.
